The Daily Miner reports:

Mohave County Sheriff’s deputies say Justin Reaume, 27 of Kingman, was arrested Saturday, Nov. 2 after a traffic stop revealed a strong odor of marijuana in his vehicle.

Deputies reportedly conducted the stop after avoiding a head-on collision with the vehicle driven by Reaume, which had crossed the center line. Deputies said Reaume was distracted trying to retrieve sunglasses that had fallen onto the floor.

In addition to marijuana, deputies found Reaume had an active arrest warrant. A search also reportedly found additional suspected narcotics.

Reaume was arrested on the warrant and on suspicion of possession of narcotic drugs, possession of dangerous drugs, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, all felonies.

Deputies say during the routine check a warrant for Piatt’s arrest was located.

A search of the vehicle revealed a jar containing suspected marijuana. Piatt was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and on the warrant.

He was transported to the Mohave County Adult Detention Facility.
